Comment:

 Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

 I received a REST API error message when I tried to save a post in the
 (block) editor with a publish date of 01/01/1970 at midnight local time.
 If it compares against the Unix epoch time with a less than or greater
 than operator, that may need to account for equality too (`<=`).

 For workarounds:
 - I was able to set the publish date to 12:01am in the editor.
 - Quick Edit allows setting the time to 00:00.
